Are we really Intolerant??

Intolerance has been quiet a hot topic these days! There are infinite examples that show how tolerant India and Indians are. Tried to put up some of the basic ones to start with! Happy Reading!

We let ourselves be ruled by a single political party for more than 50 years, where we can clearly see no promises fulfilled and no growth, and people call us "intolerant".

Today we are helplessly seeing a juvenile criminal,charged for rape and brutal murder getting free from punishment, just because of his age whereby tomorrow he'll be freely roaming around, girls will try to hide seeing him around, feel unsecured, and people think we are "intolerant".

We, often times, see people smoking in public, which according to the law, is punishable crime, nobody seems bothered, just putting up big banners and hoarding or giving advertisements in newspapers and television isn't making any significant difference,and people think we are "intolerant".

We see criminals on road, released after punishment, involving in more crimes without any hesitation and fear of law and order, and people think we are "intolerant".

We see politicians making fake promises, we all know the truth, but we still make them take toll on us, govern us, fill their own pockets, engaged in all sorts of activities and they say we are "intolerant".

We see our high end personalities, who give speeches and statements on television supporting "no discrimination", discriminating commoners based on caste, creed and you think we are "intolerant".

We read a lot about equality, speak about equality, huge campaigns are arranged,  but do we ourselves practice it? No matter how educated, rich or modern people are, the basic discrimination we talk about the most- between a girl and a boy still exists! Every single day we see with our own eyes cases of discrimination, be it in schools, on road, in offices, but we move ahead ignoring all that's in the background, and you think we are "intolerant".

We hear about scams every few days, so big, that they can bring down our economy, can cause serious financial and mental injuries to common people and you think we are "intolerant".

We see our leaders and politicians fight like cats on national television, a platform where the world sees them, they represent the masses, we tolerate all this sitting at home, in front of the television and people think we are "intolerant".

We have been waiting for "ache din" to come endlessly, prices of petrol goes down by a few "paisas",and again rise up by "rupees", where thousands of families cannot afford a two square meal because of inflation that CAN be bought down, and those who "DARE" to raise voices are pulled down in seconds, and you think we are "intolerant".

We have lost thousand of lives fighting terrorism. We are in crores, they are in thousands, still they strike us all the time, and we keep waiting for the right moment to fight back!! And you think we are "intolerant".

Judgement for crimes, criminals and cases takes decades to come, and they too at times turn out to be such as releasing the criminals, which serves no justice to the victim families and they say we are "intolerant".

Every few days,we see Doctors going on strikes and patients dying, strikes are more important than lives of people it seems, and people think we are "intolerant".

We see movies being released, many of them making no sense, totally against our society, our culture, spoiling our youth, hitting the box office and making crores and they say we are "intolerant".

We have got so much of raw talent in our country itself in all the fields, but we tend to give outsiders a chance, a break, see youth of our own nation wandering on roads for opportunities and a chance and people say we are "intolerant".
